Striking a Balance: A Practice Guide on Consultation and Communication for Project Advocates

September 1999, Ref. ME327

A good practice guide for those who are trying to site facilities that communities need but often don't want in their backyard - projects such as residential treatment facilities, meatworks, and road upgrades. It looks at best practice in consultation and techniques for addressing community concerns. A number of case studies explore the experiences of various agencies with consultation on "NIMBY" projects.
